Excellent real world evaluation.
I think the transmission gearing is the main issue with this IKE Gauntlet test foolishness vs. the 6.0 GM. The numbers just don't add up. You'd think Ram would have a solution for this pretty quick.
Kinda reminds me of two guys I knew back in the day that often got into a casual "race" while towing their race cars. The 2nd gen 12V Cummins vs. the new Ford diesel of the day. The Ford had much more impressive numbers in terms of power, but somehow the Dodge got the work done faster. We gave the win to transmission gearing and final gear ratio. After several losing trips, the Ford guy just gave up. Careful here, not a Ford vs Dodge example, just illustrating the importance of the right gearing...:C
I don't think it's gearing in this situation but more programming. They are de-tuning the engine under curtain circumstances. Whether it to be to save the weakest link in the drive train or the fact that they can't keep the 410 hp cool at the slower speeds. IDK but I don't believe it is a gearing issue.
